N95 Mask

Are you tired of changing masks frequently? Well this could be a thing of the past as researchers have developed a reusable, recyclable, washable, odourless, non-allergic and anti-microbial N95 mask by using 3D printing technology.

The four-layer mask whose outer layer is made up of silicon has a shelf life of more than 5 years depending upon the use. As per a PIB report, the mask can also be used by workers in different industries where they are exposed to high volumes of dust like cement factory, brick kilns, cotton factories and pain industries apart from its well-known uses to prevent infections like COVID 19.
